“On the major islands of Hawai'i, Maui, O'ahu, and Kaua'i, meanwhile, military airfields, training camps, weapons storage facilities, and exclusive housing and beach areas remind the Native Hawaiian who owns Hawai'i: the foreign, colonial country called the United States of America.” - Haunani-Kay Trask, From a Native Daughter (1993)
ʻĀina is the Native Hawaiian Word for land. And for Native Hawaiians, land has been and continues to be a contentious subject, from the rising cost of housing on the Islands, to the enduring exploitation of Hawaiʻi’s natural resources. We invite you to enjoy these films made by Native Hawaiians that explore what it means to Aloha ʻĀina.
This program is only available to view in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington state.
When the massive Thirty Meter Telescope is proposed to be built on Mauna Kea, an uprising of kiaʻi (protectors) in Hawaiʻi and around the world dedicate their lives to protecting the sacred mountain from destruction. Through the lens of mothers and daughters in three Native Hawaiian families, Standing Above the Clouds explores intergenerational healing and the impacts of safeguarding cultural traditions.
